1.Bake cake in a greased round cake pan according to instructions on the box.

Let cool completely and gently remove the cake from the pan and place on a platter.

Scoop a few heaping spoonfuls of frosting into a small bowl.

Add 3-5 drops of blue food coloring into the frosting in the bowl and stir until combined and tinted bright blue.

Now add yellow food coloring (around 5 drops) to the remaining frosting in the jar and stir well until evenly tinted.

Add the blue frosting to the bottom 1/4 of the cake, spreading on the top and sides. This is the minion overalls.

Next, add the yellow frosting to the remaining top and sides of the cake, spreading evenly to cover.

For the minion eye, place the lid in the top center of the cake.

Now open an Oreo cookie and place the bottom half of the cookie (the black cookie with the creme center) in the center of the lid.

Top with a small mini Oreo cookie (you can do a whole cookie or just the top part).

Next, you need the black licorice to add hair and a smile.  Press a small smile made with the black licorice in a wide "U" shape on the cake under the eye.

Then use 3-5 small pieces of licorice and press into the frosting on the top of the cake above the eye as hair.
